Ok i'm including my REPLY again the other one i don't know was happen
i'm 99.99% sure that i know what is your problem
make another test with the xfbbd but without ax25 channels
justs one channel for telnet (eth0), on the port.sys
if this not cause segmentation violation Unknown return 5
i know the problem.
Alex you can send exactly to the list the line of as you call the xfbb
in daemon mode
I had a similar problem and the xfbbd crash every time
that somebody connected in one of the channels of ax25 HF/VHF
and in a same way when i did a telnet, in the local lan
now the xfbbd is more stable in the redhat-6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15, with the
ax25-utils-2.1.42a
compiled in my system for the glibc2.1 without the library of the new
libax25/apps/tools
the problem of the xfbbd is in the porting from glibc2.0 toward glibc2.1.
I am also running in a gblic1 (libc5) the xfbbd-7.01d in very stable via
using
the Slackware 3.5.0 kernel 2.0.36.
